Bellew v. Cleverly - fight stunk the building out.

Probably Holmes/butterbean.

Hmmm. Either Haye vs Audley or Fury vs Klitschko in pure boxing terms.
Although Mayweather vs McGregor is probably up there as that was a total mismatch and complete cash grab, I actually felt a bit ashamed of myself for ordering it as soon as it had finished.

I don't get the logic.
Don't get me wrong - Haye v Audley was terrible. But I'm not sure why you would therefore never pay for another PPV fight.
It's a bit like spending money on a weeks holiday, having a bad time, and saying 'I'm never going on holiday again.'

I went to Haye vs harrison
What an absolute joke
I've never paid for a bad ppv. I can't understand people who complain about ppvs then buy them. The fight is always on YouTube the next day
I canceled sky sports after bellew vs cleverly was ppv so I've seen very few matchroom cards since

I was at haye/Harrison. The atmosphere was pretty good.
The worst thing was having to listen to bunce on the way home endlessly defending Harrison’s performance and “chances” on the radio for an hour.

Inbetween Setanta going tits up and B-Nation starting, Primetime was a godsend as it picked up a lot of the Super 6, it also picked up some horrible PPV at the same time and I bought them all, Stieglitz vs Ornelas and Holyfield vs Sherman Williams were probably the worst

Phil Taylor v Andy "The Viking" Fordham. Another Hearn mismatch.

Talking of Hearn and Harrison, wasn't this Eddie's first promotional bash? I think it was Haye's promotion but it was the first time Eddie was in the press etc as Harrison's promoter.

Hopkins v DeLa Hoya
Yeah, the only part of that card that was worth a sh*t was Kofi Jantuah's quick KO of Marco Antonio Rubio, and that only took like 30 seconds

Tyson v Bruno, I think it was the first PPV in England.
Barry McGuigan was insisting Bruno would win, I never trusted him after that

That was free to air in the UK (well, free to Sky Sports subscribers anyway). I never really thought about anyone paying PPV for it - I guess that’s why Floyd got so much criticism for being so negative. If I’d paid extra for it, I’m sure I’d have been complaining too.

I really cannot remember ButterBean vs Holmes on UK PPV - Sky just said the result as they showed another American card.
Holyfield vs Botha, Holyfield vs Williams.
There were some other pretty awful ones that get largely unnoticed.
Lennox Lewis vs Frans Botha was pretty poor.

Lol! Did you really? £1.49 isn't really hard earned. You must earn that in 15 mins
